A Daring Sacrifice

"In a reverse twist on the Robin Hood story, a young medieval maiden stands up for the rights of the mistreated, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but she never anticipates falling in love with the wealthy knight who represents all she's come to despise"--

First, I was not expecting to enjoy the book so much after reading the first book in the series. This story was a definite upgrade. I kept in mind that the story was obviously written for middle schoolers and is further than what I expected. Hedlund’s second installment in her nobility series promises the thrills of the medieval with dashing knights, rich noblemen and villans.. all this of course swirled together with a touching romance of ‘true love and sacrifice’..yeah, yeah..
The heroine: a beautiful “robin hood- esque” warrior who was passionate about serving , meets her equal: a charming Knight with equal passion, sensitivity, and strong devotion. I liked the characters well enough. I thought Sir Collin character was appropriate , respectful, and basically all the dreamy things that exists in a perfect story book. I was not thoroughly persuaded on their romance development since they became so “deeply drawn” in like three days. However, I was convinced of the chemistry and attraction between them. The story albeit laced with dialogue that was at times over charged with sap and trite rebuttals, proved to still be a enjoyable read.
